A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him.
The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.

Repression does for a true man or a nation what fire does for gold.
I do feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.
